Safety and Maintenance
You can use your Rugged NB under a wide range of environmental
conditions. However, to ensure long use and continued high
performance, consider the following factors when setting up your
Rugged NB:
•
Follow all warnings and instructions noted in this documentation
and in the Windows Help program.
•
The first time you use your Rugged NB, we recommend that you
carefully read the Making Connections section of this manual
and initialize the battery to ensure optimum battery performance.
•
Unplug the Rugged NB from the power outlet before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use aerosols, solvents, or
strong detergents.
•
Slots and openings in the system cabinet are for ventilation
purposes. Do not block or cover these openings or the system
could overheat. Do not use or store the Rugged NB near a
source of heat or dust.
•
On the base or rear panel of this Rugged NB, there is a label
with information on the power requirements of this system.
These requirements must be followed. If you are unsure of your
local power supply, consult your dealer or local Power Company.
•
Do not step on or place anything on the power cord.
•
If you use the Rugged NB with an extension cord, ensure that
the total ampere ratings of all the devices sharing the extension
do not exceed the rating of the extension cord or the rating of the
wall outlet.
•
Never push foreign objects into the Rugged NB through any of
the slots or openings. Dangerous voltages are present, which
could cause electric shock or fire, or damage sensitive
components.
